Trumpf Expands Range on TruMark 5000 Series With the introduction of the TruMark 5070, Farmington, Conn.-based Trumpf has expanded its range of TruMark Series 5000 marking lasers. This new fiber laser features increased average output power and a high repetition rate for faster processing speeds. Its high pulse frequency makes this infrared laser especially productive for deep engraving of metal or ceramics, ablation and high-speed laser marking of metals and plastics, the company claims. The TruMark 5070 features a new scanner unit and an automatic detection of the focal position. A camera system enables the user to easily position the laser beam on the workpiece. This feature is especially beneficial for frequently changing parts or when the marking levels vary in height within a batch of components. In addition to the focal position, sensors also automatically detect the position of the component to be marked. If the part is improperly positioned or turned, the marking process will be modified accordingly. For more information, call 860-255-6104 or visit www.us.trumpf.com.

Miyachi Unitek's Sigma XY Designed for Thin Metals Miyachi Unitek Corp., Monrovia, Calif., has introduced its Sigma XY fiber laser cutting system, which enables high-speed precision laser cutting of thin metals using a rigid linear drive, gantry-based motion system. Combining high-accuracy linear motors with the fine spot capability of the LF series range of fiber lasers enables the Sigma XY to offer high dimensional accuracy on cutting profiles. A proprietary laser power ramping algorithm for acceleration and deceleration provides fast cut times and consistent thermal input for stable cutting. Up to 500W of available laser power makes the Sigma XY suitable for a wide range of materials, including steels, aluminum and brass, the company claims. Miyachi Unitek's fully integrated laser control optimizes cutting, enabling pulse widths to 20 microseconds, pulse frequency up to 50 kHz and precise control of the power. Equipped with a 4-inch-thick granite base secured to a high-strength welded steel base, the system offers the mechanical stiffness necessary to accommodate the high acceleration and deceleration rates that minimize cycle times.
